This invention relates to a window hook attachment, and it more particularly relates to that type of hook-which permits a storm sash to be removably hinged to a window frame.

An object a simple and inexpensive device made of wire for hingedly and removably holding screened frames orstormwindow on window frames. j r Another object is to provide a strong hook made out of wire tobe attached to a, window frame and a coacting stronghook also made out of wire tobe attached to an "outside sash so asto permit the said sash to be removably hingedtothe window frame;

Still another object is that of providing hinging and supporting members for storm intended purpose. y.

Further objects will appear in the specifi-' or screen sashes and window frames which can be made-of wlre materialto increase 7 their strength and at the same timefafiord a shaping to closely adapt the sameto the cation and drawings, it being understood that I do not limit myself to the exact construction. illustrated, since manifestlyit could be varied without changing the spirit of my invention. r Figure l is a front elevation of a window with a screen sash appliedthereto and secured thereon by means of my improved hooks; V r r Figure 2 is a longitudinal "section of part 22-in Figure.1

Figure 3 is a perspective view of myvhooks unattached. r

I In-the drawings a storm sash 1 which may be a screenor awindow; is arranged in the y front of a wlndow frame '2. .The sash 11s j offset as at 6 so as to dispose the upper end ,7

of the offset '6, the weight of the sash is dis I posed in the rear of the hanging portion 7 0f the hookand thereby the sash under its own findits own seat in th window frame.

' The hook): is also made of'a single length of wire and generally U'shaped and formed with eyelets 8' and 9.. This hook is, bent forwardly and upwardly adjacent its central an easy sliding surfacev for'the mating hook 3 when-the same is hung thereon or taken therefrom. This hook as already pointed out is secured to 1 the window frame 2. Y Screws 10 maybe employedfor securing iooks 3 and respectively. It will be 4 to thesashand window frame seen that thesehooks although simple in construction, they securely .hinge' a 'andhorizontal plane and-its forward por tion iscurved slightly'outward. so as to form thesash'l to the .windowffranie 2 without any danger of breakage or rust, because they can be made ofiany suitable rust proof and trong material; Another advantage of these hooks is that they ca'n be shaped in any suitable manner to best serve' their purpose.

Once shaped these hooks will retain that I shape for each has .tWo legs to carry the weight and they are not apt to bend or get out ofshape. 7 I

I'would state in'conclu-sion that while the illustratedeexample constitutes a practical embodimentof my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the mechanical details herein illustratedrsince manifestly the same can be considerably varied without departure from the spirit-of the invention as do fined in the appended claim. I Having descr bed my invention .I clann A screen fastener comprising a pair of complemental members, each of'which con- 7 sists of a single piece of wire bent intermediate of its. ends to form a substantially U- L lei) I in eyelets, the hook member being bent upon,
